A 14-year-old disabled boy died Sunday morning in a house fire on Detroit's east side likely caused by an electrical problem, officials said.

Firefighters were dispatched at 3:30 a.m. to a two-story house on the 11000 block of Riad, near Kelly and Whittier, Detroit Fire Deputy Commissioner Dave Fornell said. When they arrived, a 16-year-old girl who was outside the house told them her brother was trapped inside.

Firefighters rescued a 52-year-old woman from the home. She was taken to St. John Hospital and Medical Center in critical condition, suffering from smoke inhalation.
